Overview

The KE8220 Virtual VNC Console is a thin-client device for managing remote computers running AltusenVNC. The KE8220 and AltusenVNC employ a client-server model to transmit a remote computer's desktop environment over a network to the KE8220. By connecting a keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) console to the KE8220, you can access and manage up to 4 remote computers at a time just as if you were sitting right in front of them.

The KE8220 also is useful for meeting room environments where laptop computers abound. Presenters can connect to the KE8220 to display their computers' desktops on the attached monitor or projector. This eliminates plugging and unplugging of video cables and hardware incompatibility issues, so presentations progress more quickly and smoothly.

The monitor, keyboard, and mouse connect to the KE8220 via an HDB-15 port and 2 universal serial bus (USB) ports. Or, you can use an ATEN PS/2 to USB Adapter to connect a PS/2 keyboard and mouse.

The KE8220 operates over standard TCP/IP connections, so you can use your existing network infrastructure. Or, install the included Wireless-G USB Adapter to connect to 802.11b/g wireless networks.

Finding, adding, and accessing remote computers is easy. The KE8220 automatically searches the local network for remote computers running AltusenVNC. You also can manually add computers or scan a broader range of IP addresses and ports for remote computers running AltusenVNC. The KE8220 stores connection information for up to 256 remote computers for quick and easy access.

User management is equally simple. You can add up to 64 user accounts and assign administration rights to users at anytime.

The KE8220 includes rich multi-language features such as multiple display languages and support for keyboard layouts for several languages and regions.

Robust security is another feature of the KE8220. Login password authentication and two-level user access control prevent unauthorized users from accessing the KE8220 and making changes. Remote computers are password protected and passwords are encrypted in all network communications. On wireless networks, the KE8220 supports up to 256-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) encryption to thwart eavesdropping.

Additional features include a kit to mount the KE8220 to a ceiling, wall, or system rack, and free lifetime upgrades for both the KE8220 firmware and AltusenVNC software.

Ad-Hoc Mode

In Ad-Hoc mode, computers connect directly to the KE8220 without needing an access point. In this case, the KE8220 acts as a server which computers connect to. Because of this, the KE8220 IP address cannot be obtained dynamically using DHCP; instead, the KE8220 IP address must be set manually.

With DHCP server mode automatically activated in Ad-Hoc mode, the start and end IP address range, as specified in the DHCP Server section of Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), can be set. This range represents the maximum number of IP addresses that can be automatically assigned to computers connecting to the KE8220.

Note: The first three parts of the IP address are configured in the IP Address text box; only the last part of the IP address can be set for the start and the end of the range.

Configuring TCP/IP Settings in Ad-Hoc Mode

To configure the TCP/IP settings for the wireless network in Ad-Hoc mode:

  1. From the Local System menu, select Wireless. The Wireless dialog box appears.

Overview

AltusenVNC is a program that runs on Windows-based remote computers. It enables up to 127 KE8220 at a time to connect to a remote computer and control it. Additionally, a remote computer running AltusenVNC can push video to a KE8220.

AltusenVNC captures video from the remote computer and sends it to the KE8220, while keyboard and mouse input from the KE8220 is captured and sent to the remote computer.

Two versions of AltusenVNC are shipped with the KE8220. One version is built into the KE8220 and is available as an executable download file from the KE8220. This version of AltusenVNC is not a full installation package and is used for creating temporary connections to the KE8220 – meeting room presentations are ideal for downloading the AltusenVNC executable file.

Another version of the AltusenVNC software is available from the installation CD provided with the KE8220. This version of AltusenVNC can be configured to run as a service or an application and is ideal for computers that need to be monitored remotely and accessed anytime using the KE8220, even after the computer has been shutdown and restarted.

Note: Performance depends upon the remote computer's configuration and the network's load capacity. When more than one KE8220 user connects to a remote computer, they share the keyboard and mouse.

Downloading the AltusenVNC Executable

If you do not know the IP address of the KE8220, use the following steps to download the AltusenVNC executable file:

  1. Connect a monitor/display device to the KE8220 (connecting a keyboard and mouse is optional), connect the KE8220 to a LAN or insert the wireless LAN adapter into the KE8220, and then connect the power adapter to the KE8220 to power it on.
  2. Log in to the OSD (see page 16) and change the IP address to one that is appropriate for the network that the KE8220 resides on. See Configuring Network Settings, page 27, for more details.
  3. Ensure that your computer is connected to a LAN/WAN and enter the IP address into your computer's web browser to access the KE8220 webpage and download a copy of the AltusenVNC executable file.
  4. Save the file to any location on your computer.
  5. Double-click the saved file to start AltusenVNC.

If you know the IP address of the KE8220, use the following steps to download the AltusenVNC executable file:

  1. Connect the KE8220 to a LAN or insert the wireless LAN adapter into the KE8220 and connect the power adapter to the KE8220 to power it on.
  2. Ensure that your computer is connected to a LAN/WAN and enter the IP address into your computer's web browser to access the KE8220 webpage and download a copy of the AltusenVNC executable file.
  3. Save the file to any location on your computer.
  4. Double-click the saved AltusenVNC executable file to start AltusenVNC.

When the software is successfully installed, the “Push Video to KE8220” dialog box automatically opens (see Pushing Video to the KE8220, page 50); the program icon appears on the computer’s desktop, and the AltusenVNC icon appears in the taskbar (see Starting AltusenVNC, page 46)

When you are finished using the AltusenVNC executable file, simply delete it to completely remove AltusenVNC from your computer.

To configure AltusenVNC, see page 48 for details.

Installing AltusenVNC on Remote Computers

Install AltusenVNC on remote computers that you want to access from the KE8220. AltusenVNC comes with an unlimited license, so you can install it on as many remote computers as necessary.

During installation, choose whether to install AltusenVNC as a service or an application. If you install AltusenVNC as a service, it starts when Windows is booted and continues to run in the background. It is a good idea to install AltusenVNC as a service if the remote computer must be accessible whenever the operating system is running. Also, when you install AltusenVNC as a service, KE8220 users can use the Ctrl-Alt-Delete command on the remote computer.

If you choose to install AltusenVNC as an application, you will need to manually start it each time and KE8220 users will not be able to use the Ctrl-Alt-Delete command on the remote computer. You should install AltusenVNC as an application if you will use it only occasionally, such as on a laptop computer to push video to the KE8220.

During installation, you will be asked to choose the language that AltusenVNC will use to display user interface text once the installation is complete. If you wish to change the display language, you must reinstall AltusenVNC.

You may need to open certain ports in your router, gateway, or firewall to ensure that AltusenVNC can communicate properly with the KE8220. To see which ports are used, see Configuring a Router, Gateway, or Firewall, page 27.

Note: Installing AltusenVNC as a service may not be supported for some Windows operating systems. Please check our Website to see if support has been added to a newer version of AltusenVNC.

To install AltusenVNC on a remote computer:

  1. Insert the KE8220 installation CD into the CD drive of the computer you want to install AltusenVNC and wait a few seconds for the installation program to autostart.

Note: If the installation program fails to start, use your computer's file browser to navigate to the CD drive and double-click the AltusenVNC.exe installation file.
